Gregorys Island
Mexican Gulf Petrochemical has lost contact with one of its rigs, located just off the small settlement of Gregorys Island, 100 miles west of the city of Centropolis. MGP approached Endermann, Liebmann and Fingle to provide assistance to its' employees on what they assured would be a simple exercise. The team was assembled, prepared to go and then the party was crashed by the U.S. military. The 'assistance' of specialists and armed soldiers has been 'offered' and MGP has 'gratefully accepted'. Clearly this is more than radio problems...
Team members can therefore either be MGP employees, civilian specialists (Endermann, Liebmann and Fingle specialises in 'unusual' cases and counts more than a few unconventional investigators in its ranks), military personnel or government specialists. Every group involved in the mission knows or suspects something special about the islands but, so far, no one's talking.
Gregorys Island is actually two main islands and several smaller islets, located in the gulf and settled by religious zealots in the 1860's. Notable historic events have been the building of an observatory in the 20's, use by the military as a listening post in WWII, an experimental wind farm in the 60's and the building of MGP facilities in the 80's. Very few people have heard of the islands...until now...
The game will be run using the West End Games D6 Action rules, basically a mod of their original Star Wars system i think.
Ideally for 4-5 players

Endangered Species
A Dead of Night game
Within the space of a day, the world changed forever; the human race stopped dying and the undead turned upon the living.
This game starts on the day that the dead started to walk and, over the course of the Long Block, may explore the following days, weeks, months or even years of the apocalypse, with appropriate time jumps between sessions, as chosen by the players. The focus of the story is on the challenges faced by the living in a world overrun by zombies.
A modified version of the Dead of Night, 2nd Edition rules will be used, with additional character aspects in place to support campaign play.
This should appeal to anyone who has read The Walking Dead comics by Robert Kirkman or the World War Z novel by Max Brooks. All player characters will be odrinary people and the story will focus on their struggles to hold onto what they believe is most important in a world that has fallen apart.

Star Wars: Legacy
Episode Three Long ago in a galaxy far, far away…
The story is set 125 years after Return of the Jedi. The Galactic Alliance (formerly known as the Rebellion) and the Jedi Order form an alliance with a race of aliens known as Yuuzhan Vong and the Sith sabotage it. After three years of fighting, the Alliance is defeated at Coruscant and its remaining territories are absorbed by the Empire which becomes the new galactic government. The Jedi Order is nearly destroyed during a massacre led by the Sith at the Jedi Temple at Ossus. The new Sith Order turns against Emperor Roan Fel and his Imperial Knights. Darth Krayt usurps the Imperial throne, though some parts of the Empire remain loyal to Fel.
In Episode One: The Quest for Hope, three Force Adepts thwarted Darth Krayt’s genocide of Endor, tried to crash a Star Destroyer into Coruscant, resisted the Dark Side, prevented the Sith getting their hands on the Kaiburr Crystal and removed Darth Talon from the field of play.
In Episode Two - The Players escaped from a disentegrating Star Destroyer, faced and defeated a dark side nexus on a swampworld before destroying the weapons grade material that would have been used for a new Death Star.
Episode Three: Talks between the Galactic Alliance and The Imperials have reached a critical stage. Emperor Fel needs assurance that the Galactic Alliance can live up to it's side of the bargain. He has also received word that his daughter, Marasiah Fel, has been discovered on the Planet Tattooine and has been targeted by the Sith and various Bounty Hunter factions. A party consisting of members of both factions is immediately dispatched to retrieve her safely.
For 3-6 players using the SAGA version of the Star Wars Role-Playing game. Full details of Episodes One and Two can be found here: Star Wars: Legacy. This is an ideal jumping on point for anyone interested in joining the game.
